“Til They’re Free” is a song caught by Samantha Rise while originally supporting a global strike for liberation in solidarity with all oppressed people, including those in Palestine, Sudan, and Congo. Collaborating across state borders, Philadelphia producer Benn Kuhn remixed the Instagram recording and integrated parts by moon king (vocals) and Pax Ressler (keys). Astro Nautico releases the finalized single today, mixed by Sam O.B. at Sway Studios, in response to and alignment with ongoing movement work by the artists and their communities to end genocide internationally.

All sales of the single will be offered to a mutual aid network supporting Palestinians emigrating from Gaza. You can also send funds directly: @amalhaddad (Venmo) / adelyhaddad (Paypal). Moving money in this way, we hope to honor the lives and testimonies of genocide survivors who remain in harm’s way and who have already made it clear what care and attention they need. “None of us are free // ‘til we’re all free” (Ella Baker).

We hope to amplify the rebellious mourning, radical joy, and steadfast caretaking of the Palestinian people and the growing student intifada in the heart of the imperial core. May those who give fuel to liberation movements today find yet another talisman of protection in this music. “One step at a time, all of us will move the line.”
